I'll probably move this to the beginners-cgi list at Sean's suggestion. But just to try and wrap up one specific point...
I've been following the information here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/cgi.html and also looking at Includes here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html These indicate that ExecCGI is separate from Includes on the Option's directive. I'll try switching on the Includes Option and using "<!--virtual", etc. I've been googling cgi/apache/exec a fair bit over the last week and so far I think Includes and ExecCGI are separate, though similar... though I may well be entirely wrong, so apologies for my pig-headedness in advance!!

I.e. I'm not using Include. Actually, you are trying to. #exec is an SSI directive. I would do a google search for server side includes and CGI for a tutorial on how to go about this, if this is the way you want to go. However, if you are planning on building a dynamic website, using a templating system such as Template Toolkit or HTML::Template is probably the better way to go. Sean
